The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Xia Yu lowered her head and pouted, looking very innocent.

"Okay, Ma'am, don't talk about Xia Yu anymore. If the young lady doesn't want to tell her, how can she know?" Chun Xiao echoed from the side.

Xia Yu looked up at Chunxiao with gratitude. Chunxiao covered her mouth with her hands in amusement. Xia Yu was still as afraid of Nanny Qin as before. The two of them grew up with the eldest lady. Nanny Qin often nagged Xia Yu because of Xia Yu's carefree personality. Xia Yu was also afraid of Nanny Qin.

Shangguan Ziling ran around and saw that several people were looking at her. She couldn't help but run in front of them, slowed down her pace, and asked: "Why are you all looking at me?"

Xia Yu hurriedly asked: "Miss, what are you doing?"

"I'm just exercising, you guys can do whatever you need to do," Shangguan Ziling said, and continued running.

Upon hearing this, several people looked at each other. Nanny Qin and Chunxiao went into the house, took the needle and thread to the stone table in the yard, and started working.

Chunxiao went to the kitchen and asked someone to prepare hot water.

Shangguan Ziling ran two laps and was out of breath. She couldn't help but sigh that this body lacked exercise and was far worse than her previous life.

"Master, take your time, you will eventually return to your former peak."

"Well, little fat boy, weren't you asleep before, and you know what I was like before?"

"I can vaguely feel it."

"Oh," Shangguan Ziling stopped, and Xia Yu immediately ran over and wiped the sweat off Shangguan Ziling with a handkerchief.

Shangguan Ziling was not used to being served, so she snatched the handkerchief and wiped herself.

Xia Yu said: "Miss, please rest for a while and then take a shower. The hot water is ready."

"Well," Shangguan Ziling lay down on the rattan chair and flipped through a medical book. After reading for a while, she felt she had rested enough and got up to take a bath.

Seeing the closed door, Xia Yu was very puzzled. She felt that the eldest lady seemed to have changed and would not even let her get close to serve her when she was bathing.

What they didn't know was that their eldest daughter's appearance had not changed, but her soul had long been replaced. As a modern self-reliant Shangguan Ziling, of course she couldn't stand being served by others, let alone taking a bath.

After Shangguan Ziling tidied up and walked out, she saw Xiao Linzi waiting in the yard.

Xiao Linzi hurriedly bent down and said: "Miss, there is an important discovery."

"Oh? Tell me."

Xiao Linzi told the story of what happened after he followed Mei Ju.

Xia Yu said angrily: "Miss, Aunt Bai must have bad intentions."

Nanny Qin said worriedly: "Miss, do you want to talk to the master and the eldest young master? I always feel that this is targeting you."

Chunxiao also nodded and said: "I think what Nanny Qin said makes sense."

Shangguan Ziling smiled and said nonchalantly: "What tricks have they come up with? I will take them on. How can I be afraid of them?"

"What are you doing?"

When they looked back, they saw that it was the Prime Minister who had just returned from court. They bowed and saluted. Shangguan Dong waved his hand, and they all went down to do their own things so as not to disturb the conversation between the father and daughter.

"Zi Ling, what were you doing at home today? Didn't you go out?"

Shangguan Ziling walked beside Shangguan Dong, took his arm coquettishly, and said: "Daddy, I'm at home reading the medical book that my eldest brother had someone send me."

"Zi Ling wants to study medicine?" Shangguan Dong expressed his doubt. He knew his daughter's temper and wondered when she would be able to calm down and read medical books.

Shangguan Ziling nodded and said "hmm".

Shangguan Dong said earnestly: "Do you want your father to ask Imperial Physician Han from the Imperial Hospital to come to the house to teach you? Your father has some friendship with Imperial Physician Han from the Imperial Hospital."

Shangguan Ziling shook her head and said: "No need, Dad, I am self-taught."

Shangguan Dong sighed inwardly, thinking that his daughter had really gotten better. It seemed that her interest in studying medicine was just a passing fancy.

"Master, your cheap father doesn't seem to believe that you can teach yourself. Why don't you tell him that you know medical skills?"

Shangguan Ziling naturally saw her father's expression.

"Little Fatty, the original owner doesn't know any medical skills. If I tell him that I'm an expert in both medicine and poison, he'll be scared. It's better to take it slow."

"Oh, you humans are so troublesome and not straightforward at all."

……

"Master, Master, let us in..."

Shangguan Dong frowned, turned around unhappily and looked outside the yard.

Shangguan Ziling thought, maybe the good show prepared by this woman Bai Suqing is about to begin. The timing is so perfect. Her step-father just came back and came to her yard, and he's here already?

Shangguan Ziling nodded to Xia Yu in the distance.

Xia Yu immediately went out and invited the person in.

"What's the noise about?"

Bai Suqing said aggrievedly: "Master, when I just went out today, I met this monk at our gate. He said that there was a strong evil spirit in our house and he was afraid that someone was possessed by evil spirits. So, he invited this master in and brought him all the way to the eldest lady's yard."

A monk in a cassock appeared in front of everyone.

"Shut up, this is nonsense and you are misleading people." Shangguan Dong looked at Bai Suqing angrily.

"Dad, this is Master Wuxin, the disciple of Master Yuanji, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple," Shangguan Jiaoyun said softly while looking at Shangguan Dong.

Shangguan Dong was a little hesitant. Although he did not believe in these weird gods, he had heard of Master Yuanji's reputation. Ordinary people could not invite him because he was a truly capable person.

Shangguan Ziling took a look at the mother and daughter. They were waiting for her. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Dad, why don't we send someone to Xiangguo Temple to ask if this is Master Wuxin?"

"Amitabha, donor, you are filled with resentment, and I'm afraid there is something unclean in you."

"Oh? Then may I ask, Master, what unclean things do you mean?"

"Amitabha, it dare not appear in broad daylight, but it is attached to the lady's body, so I am not afraid. If it attaches itself to the lady for a long time, it may cause harm to the lady's body at best, or worse... "

"How?" Shangguan Dong asked hurriedly. He didn't believe these things at first, but it was related to the safety of his daughter. Seeing that the monk stopped talking halfway, he couldn't help but clench his fists nervously.

"The serious cases will lead to sudden death, Amitabha."

"Then how should we deal with it, Master?" Shangguan Ziling asked with a smile.

"Yes, how should we deal with it?" Shangguan Dong echoed.

"Don't panic, I will chant a spell to exorcise the evil spirit for you and keep you safe."

"Can evil spirits be driven away just by chanting a spell?" Shangguan Ziling raised an eyebrow.

"Of course it won't be that simple. You have to chant incantations for three days to exorcise the evil spirits. Miss also has to find a place to practice seclusion for half a year before you can survive this disaster."

Shangguan Dong’s brows furrowed more and more as he listened. Half a year of seclusion?

"Hey, Xia Yu, call Xiao Linzi over."

"Yes, miss."

Bai Suqing felt her solar plexus throbbing and had a bad feeling. She couldn't help but glance at her trusted maid Mei Ju.

"Sister, why do you call a servant? Your business is more important!" Shangguan Jiaoyun asked with concern.
